[Risgchairs] Request input for a Poster on global rangelands

[Maryam Niamir-Fuller]

Dear RISG Chairs
Thank you to those who have sent or are working on collecting pictures to
send to us. I have not heard back from several RISGs and would please
encourage you to help us get the representative pictures from your regions
(otherwise we will simply use the pictures that are already on the IYRP
website).

Please send the pictures at the highest resolution that you can.

Please send your *three* pictures *at latest by 14th August. *

All the best
*...*...*...*
